Bluecrop survived winter

18 years ago

After a long cold winter, my Bluecrop blueberries (2) in roughly 5 gallon containers (maybe more) both survived a brutal Wisconsin winter. Temps had dropped to -22F several times, with over 30 days registering a negative number. Also was one of the longest years with 1 inch of snow on the ground (over 100 days). My Bluecrops were buried into the ground somewhat and covered with leaves (most of the top was sticking out all winter). We did have almost 70inches of snow this year, which probably helped. I recently took them out of the ground and set them in the garage. I'm starting to see the buds open uP! Hopefully there are some flowers on them.

Also plan on putting them in the ground this spring or fall depending on fruit production.
